Original And Immaculate,45k Miles,needs Nothing, Drive Anywhere,2 Owner Car on 2040-cars
Murfreesboro, Tennessee, United States
|
I am the second owner of this car. Purchased from the original owner 3 years ago. The original owner had this car as a second car and drove it only sparingly (as have I). I purchased it with 40k miles and have put an additional 4k+ miles on it. Always garaged and kept under a cover. Original owner kept all documents and books from the original sale of the car as new. I have manuals, extensive documentation, brochures, warranty pamphlet, two original keys, and even a binder with some Rotary Rocket Magazines from back in the day. Original owner claims that the car never needed any service or repairs beyond oil changes (which he did himself). Since owning the car, I have had some typical type repair work done. New brake shoes in the rear, new Brake master cylinder, New clutch master and slave cylinders. New battery, air filter and fuel filter. The car is in need of NOTHING now. Everything works as it should (except the power antenna) and the car starts, drives and performs as good as new. No smoking, no leaks no funny noises. All lighting is in working order as is the clock. The AC blows ice cold. I would not hesitate to drive this car anywhere or any distance. I always keep my vehicles in top running and top cosmetic condition.
The paint on the exterior is Formula White. The paint looks so nice that I find it hard to believe that the paint is original but the original owner claimed that it is. He said the front passenger fender was dinged at some point and repainted but you sure can't tell it. Must have been done correctly. The paint and all exterior items are in EXCEPTIONAL condition. Everything shines. No rust, no dents, nothing. If you get in the right light you can see a few extremely minor door dings in passenger door but they are so minor that they wont show up in photos. All glass, rubber, plastic etc is in immaculate condition. The underside and engine bay were rust-proofed when new and show ZERO signs of any rust. The wheels look new. The tires are Yokohamas and are in great condition. Appear to have at least 75% tread remaining. The interior is also in immaculate condition. Every last bit of trim and carpet is as good as new. I purchased the $500 set of dark brown authentic sheepskins, which you can see in the photos, to keep the seats nice. I also had two super thick, dark brown floor mats and a huge rear mat which covers the entire back half of the interior, custom made. They look awesome. There are no cracks in the dash. No loose interior pieces. No trim coming loose. Nothing. Its perfect. The original owner put an aftermarket, high end stereo in the car when new but was unable to locate the original radio for me. I had the unit he installed professionally removed and had $1500 worth of Alpine and JL audio equipment installed. The Alpine is an AM/FM/XM, cd and has an iPod plug. I had them install a powered FM antenna which is in the glove box. The antenna doesn't work well while stuffed in the glove box but I didn't want to mount it anywhere. They removed the original boxes mounted behind the seats (which I still have) and replaced them with the JL audio mids and Amp. The front speakers were replaced with JL speakers and the original grills were put back on. There is a removable JL sub in a brown carpeted box in the rear hatch area. Everything was done professionally and looks fantastic. The sound system will not disappoint. All components can be removed and easily replaced with original equipment if so desired. This car has ALWAYS been pampered. The new owner will not be disappointed. I don't sell much on ebay but check my feedback comments. I have sold a few of my vehicles over the years on ebay and the feedback has always been great. This is a really nice car. Prices on ebay for these cars seem to be all over the place. They seem to range from $5000.00 to $8000.00 for the nicer ones. My reserve price falls somewhere in the middle. Please do NOT email me asking for my exact reserve price. If you have any questions please email me. I can easily provide additional pictures or information if requested. If you are in the Nashville area and would like to come check out the car just let me know...I'd be happy to show it to you. |

Next-gen Mazda MX-5 Miata mule spied 'Ring testing
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Fans of simple, lightweight motoring, rejoice - we now have images of the next-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata undergoing testing at der Nürburgring Nordschleife. Now, to be fair, this isn't some lightly camouflaged example that will give us a great peak of what the next Miata, which will also become the next Alfa Romeo Spider, will look like. This is a mule, with the new bits hidden under a current Miata's body. That doesn't mean there aren't a few scraps of valuable information here, though.
According to our flock of camera-toting spies at the Nürburgring, the next Miata is likely to grow a bit, as new models are wont to do. In particular, it will be longer and wider, and the wheelbase is likely going to be stretched, based on the shape of the wheel wells and doors. Both of those factors will add more space in the cabin.
Those are the big indications provided by these photos, but while the MX-5 might be growing, it's a safe bet based on these images that it, and the (likely pricier) Alfa, will retain the classic, long-hood, short-deck styling that so typifies rear-drive roadsters.
Lexus, Mazda and Subaru top Consumer Reports Brand Report Cards
Tue, 26 Feb 2013A revised methodology in devising its annual Car Brand Report Cards has seen Consumer Reports award Lexus its top overall ranking for 2013. For the first time ever, the institute broke out individual brands from their larger corporate umbrellas, meaning car makers like Lexus and Scion were judged independently from parent company Toyota. That strategy worked out well for Lexus, as the luxury brand earned a top report card score of 79 for the 2013 model year.
The institute has recommended every one of the Lexus models it has tested to date, and said that the company's products won out thanks to "a foundation of plush and very reliable vehicles."
Meanwhile, Mazda and Subaru tied for the second-highest scoring report cars, with scores of 76. Subaru earned praised for sporting models like the BRZ, which CR testers apparently had a lot of fun driving (naturally), while the Mazda products were lauded for their blend of practicality, sportiness and efficiency. Both of the Japanese brands offered good handling, fuel economy and versatility, said Consumer Reports.
White House clears way for NHTSA to mandate vehicle black boxes
Fri, 07 Dec 2012At present, over 90 percent of all new vehicles sold in the United States today are equipped with event data recorders, more commonly known as black boxes. If the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gets its way, that already high figure will swell to a full 100 percent in short order.
Such automotive black boxes have been in existence since the 1990s, and all current Ford, General Motors, Mazda and Toyota vehicles are so equipped. NHTSA has been attempting to make these data recorders mandatory for automakers, and according to The Detroit News, the White House Office of Management Budget has just finished reviewing the proposal, clearing the way. Now NHTSA is expected to draft new legislation to make the boxes a requirement.
One problem with current black boxes is that there's no set of standards for automakers to follow when creating what bits of data are recorded, and for how long or in what format it is stored. In other words, one automaker's box is probably not compatible with its competitors.
